By my dispatch addressed to you on the 12th ult. for the information ot their Lordships, and fut. warLd to England by the Honourable Company's ship Sara Christiana, I had the honour to cornsau7 nicate the advises I had received froM the Govern ment .of India, of the force then proceeding to the Island of Rod?rignez, for the reduaioti of the Isle of Bourbon, and of the ulterior objects - in contem plation ; it is with peculiar satisfaaion that I am now to acquaint you, that by the atrivid of the country ship the Anna, at this anchorag,e, on the 24th instant, 1 have received front Captain Rowley the dispatch, of which the accompanying is a copy, announcing the surrender of the Isle of Bomb°. to his_Nlajesty's arms, by Capitulation, on the g It ofJuly. . , The proceedings of the squadron conjuu.,ticiti .w;th the military force, under the cimituand of _L euten int-Colonel Keating, 1 - 1 t e so fully detailed in • Captain Rowley's sa a. letter witti its accoM,i`ant meths, that it 1 , ma i 0 on . y for conrztilitte their Lordships on the successfiii issue `f tiiis first step towards the e& ertnination of the ette'my'S • pos ses,ious in this dual tel.

I feel much satisfactien ili announcing to you he. surrender of the Isle of' Bourbon . to his. Majesty's arms. According to the c,analunication-I had the honour to make to yon on the 14th ult. I proceeded to the Isle of Roderiguez, where having wined the transports from India, and in concert with Lieut.- Col. Keating - made the necessary arrangements' relri tive to the troops, and:eMbarked on board the Boa d'cea and Nereije as Many as they could stow, we proceeded to join the ships of the squadron which I had kit off the Isle of France, wider the orders of Captain Pym, blockading 'the three frigates of the enemy then in port, having previously detached a light transport to apprise them of our sailing. We joined theta at the appointed rendezvous, between the Isles of Prance and Bourbon, on the 6th, and having embarked on 'board the frigates the remain der of the European and part of the Native troops, made all sail in the evening toward's the points of at tack, ,it being intended to push on - shore the great est part of the force with all possible celerit,. for which purpose each ship was provided witlFaddi tional boats taken from the transports. • . T While the main (Wee drew the attention of the enemy, off St. Marie;' about two leagues to .the eastward of the town of ' St. Denys, • Captain Pym, with his usual skill and aetivity, effected 'a landing about two P.M. froth the 'Siritia;:of all , the troops embarked on board of her, 'et to part of the beach called Grande Chaloupe, six miles to the westward of the town, where the'enerny were totally unprepar ed fur an attack. The Riviere des Fillies, about three miles to the east of St. Denis, was intended for the . other point of descent. The remaining four frigates (when it was sup posed the first landing was secured) ,ithanediately pushed for the anchorage, and were followed by the transports as they arrived. The weather, which till now had been favourable, began. to change; the 'beach on this side of the bland being steep, and Composed of large ahing,les, is generally of das a :cess, but it was supposed, on reconnoitring it, that tie landing was i.racticanle, and C:-sprain Wiilough y, who un !errook to soperin:end it, puslicd oil in a small prize schooner, captured by the N,-rtmle, with a party of seamen and a detachment of lit troops, aid with some of the boats e. inch effected a pattial landing, but the sort still i,,ereas; ing, sc‘ersi were stove on the beach ; it ben - 1,, however, considered by Lieutenant-Coloel lip at - Mg of much importance to enref the landipg - 0.; this point, a light transport was placed with great juig ment by Lienten 1.1 o) d of" the Boad cc to eroer to act as a br ak-waler,• but the stern lablc paring, she oily formed a momentary cover for a tew boats,, and, not Nit hstanding e►ety exertion of the skill and experience of Caram iny, the Officers and seamen, it was found necessary on the close of the day to relinquish any further attempts at this point for the present.. I am concerned to state that two seamen and two soldiers were drowned on this oc casion ; the party, however, maintained their ground, and took possession of the battery and post of St. Marie during. the the night. The Magicienne, with two transports,.were now detached to support the brigade landed at Grande Chnloupe, but Captain Curtis alone gained the an chorage, and landed the troops ernuartsed in her.— In the morning of the Bth,„the beach still appearing unfavourable, I weighed, at the desire of Lieute nant-Colonel Keating, and proceeded to the a,:chor age off Grande Chaloupe, where we lauded the re mainder of the troops, .suns, - exc. The transports had been left i , s charge of the Iphigenia, and Capsaitt Lambert, with much activity and exertion, landed the troops embarked in her. I direeted Captain Pym to proceed with - the Sirius and Magscienne, to be ready to ad with the troops off St. Denis, when at lu P. M. I received a message fri m Lieutenant-Colonel Keating, that he had entered into a capitulation :with• the enemy, and at his desire landed next . morning, in company with Mr. Farquhar, appointed to the Government of the Island (woo hid done me the honour to embark in the Boadicea), when we signed the atitiexed terms of Capitulation *. I had previously directed Captain Pym, by signal, to takepossession of the shipping at St. Paul's; in effeding which, Lit utenato Norman, in she barge of the Sirius, captured a French bvig (that had sailed with dispatches for the Isle of Fran,v), in a style which does that Officer much credit I beg leave to transmit Captain Pym's report of the affair. ....__... For a detail of the operations of the troops on shore, which led to the surreinkr of the Island, I beg leave to refer. to Lieutenaiu-k.;oio lei Keating's dispatcheS ; his plan of attack. was so anly concert ed, and ex.i•cliten with so tn:tch d .cision, as to oc• casion the speedy termination of a Colltrst, which, if protracted, must, from the nature of the country,' have Occasioned touch lois. • It now, Sir, btcot»es a pleasing part of my 'duty to notice the cordial unanimity and zeal that pre vailed netween all ranks of the 'Amy aiid Navy • on the sere ice we • h lye been engaged in.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.---A triari'of the name of Jonathon Doggril, was : yesterday charged at this Qf flee by two ladies, the niece and daughter of a gen tleman, in Gloucester-place - 1 with a violent assault in Mary-le-bone Fields, on Wednesday morning. The defendant, who is a tradesman, accosted. the ladies in the language of gallantry, but on their avoiding him as mach a* possible, he beeatne very impertinent,and took very unbecoming . liberties. In defence the defendant pleaded having taken too Much wine, and offered an apology, but it' was•not - accepted, and he was held to bail. Yesterday, between one and two o'clock in the morning, the conch-office of the Angel inn, St. Cle ments, was bloke open and robbed of about 2001. in cash and notes - , and the contents of several par cels, the value of which is not known. The robbers opened all the parcels except one, but only took Oat t of their contents. On the robbery being discovered, a Gentleman* who slept at the inn on Wednesday night, appeared in great agitation, and exclaimed, 1 ! he hoped the robbers had not stolen the contents of his portmanteau—if they had it woubl ruin him, as it. contained 8,0001." Fortunately . this was the only package the robbers did not break ,open. A man employed in the yard, who was proved to hat e been up at an unusual hour, was apoehended on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery; but proof was adduced. The suspicious circumstances, however, were such, that Mr. READ thought it right to detain him. I I * P ~a.~
